Whether you have visited a CRC facility or not, it is our constant goal to provide the best quality recreation services available, and your input on CRC's potential programs is essential to meet that goal.

CRC celebrated the grand openings of pools at McKie and Pleasant Ridge Recreation Center. On May 25, despite chilly weather, the two pools were opened to a welcoming crowd of neighborhood kids.

McKie’s new pool and sprayground are part of a $4.2 million renovation which includes the center and the grounds. As part of the upgraded look, the McKie Family Aquatic Center has a new sprayground, new pool decks and a new pool filtration system.

The Pleasant Ridge Aquatic Center has been upgraded with a $1.4 million, 8-month renovation, and features a new, zero-depth entry stainless steel wading pool. The new lap/dive pool is equipped with two ADA accessible forms of entry and there are new shade structures.

Seven local artists received Cincinnati Art Ambassador Fellowships – $6,000 grants from the City of Cincinnati with organization from Cincinnati Recreation Commission – to produce their artwork. They have each been busy since late last year making great use of that money. They presented their work at two free, public performances in May.

Cincinnati Recreation Commission, the Cincinnati Art Museum and Happen, Inc. will work together to install reproductions of artwork from the Cincinnati Art Museum at CRC facilities throughout the city.

Artwork will be reproduced on vinyl strips and woven into 8' portable fence sections. Community children will weave the vinyl artwork into the fence sections.
